Punk Rock Music
Punk sprung from the legacy of 60s bands such as the Velvet Underground, was pioneered by bands like the Misfits and the Ramones and then brought into the public consciousness by the mid-70s wave headed by the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Damned. Since then it has split off into a variety of subgenres such as hardcore, street punk and pop punk.

What is the difference between punk and metal?
Most people can tell the difference but I would suggest (as a very broad generalisation) punk tends to be faster and the lyrics more political whereas metal tends to be heavier and slower with more solos but like I say, some punk bands combine metal styles and some metal bands use punk drum beats/lyrical styling etc
Stiff Little Fingers
The Tossers
The Mahones
Irish Rovers
Icon On Fire
Ocean Over Head
Flogging Molly are not Irish, this is something that annoys me alot, they are an American band, nobody in Ireland knows who they are!!!
The Progues
Flatfoot 56 is not irish either they are from Chicago, Illinois
Blood or Whiskey
Flogging Molly was formed in Los Angeles, CA, but Dave King who founded the band is from Dublin Ireland. He moved to the states as an adult, he was in a few bands in Ireland before moving to Los Angeles and starting Flogging Molly.

What were the first British punk groups?
The Ramones and The MC5.
AnswerThis is a tricky question. As different people have different definitions of what punk rock is and when/where it began, there's no answer that everyone, or even mostly everyone, can agree on.
But I would say that the first punk bands ever were The Stooges and The MC5 in Detroit. A few years later, the first New York City punk band was The New York Dolls. Some might say it was The Velvet Underground, but this is a difficult opinion to maintain when you consider that lead singer/songwriter Lou Reed has consistently denied that his band was a punk band.
Either way, the Ramones formed in 1974, and the New York Dolls formed in 1971 (and The Stooges and The MC5 formed like, 5 or 6 years before that), so I don't see how The Ramones can be called the first punk band, unless you don't consider the Dolls or the Stooges to be "true" punk bands, which is a conversation that belongs on the Discussion page, not in this Answer box.
Try some Young Jeezy -"Put On", Gorrila Zoe -"Man I", Kid Cudi-" Day and Night", Ludacris- "Blueberry Yum Yum" and "Ultimate Satisfaction", Turf Talk- "Super Sik Wit It", oh and Gorrilaz- "Clint Eastwood" these songs all BUMP!!!
It's either Super Bass,Did it on Em,Romans Revenge,Bottoms Up,My Chick Bad,and Look at Me Now.
What NYC club is said to be the birthplace of punk?
I think you must be talking about CBGB's (full name CBGB-OMFUG, which stands for Country BlueGrass Blues & Other Music for Upstanding Gormandizers). That's the legendary club where some of the first punk rock bands -- like the New York Dolls, the Ramones, the Dead Boys, Television, the Heartbreakers, the Dictators, etc., etc. -- played back in the seventies. There was another club that all these bands played at called Max's Kansas City, but it closed in 1981. CBGB's kept on going strong until 2006, until its owner, Hilly Kristal (who died of cancer in 2007), finally gave it up to CBGB Holdings Ltd. Supposedly the problem started with complaints from Kristal's landlord regarding unpaid rent.
I have included links to two articles regarding the closing of CBGB's, and the rather ugly court battle between Kristal's next of kin over his estate.
What is the purpose of being a punk person?
Because it's awesome. People might think punk is about the clothes, the fashion or whatever, but it is about attitude and standing for what u believe in. It had a big influence on people. The punk bands were telling us don't take crap from nobody. punk was the best thing that ever happened in the 70's. It got people a chance to be themselves and not caring what people thought. Punk was incredible, brilliant, and rebellious.
Punk was born because of a few reasons.
1- Punk was born out of the rebelion against the music scene of the time. Bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols hated the fact that bands like Simon and Garfunkel were considered rock n roll.
2- Punk bands also refused to dissconect themselves from their fans and sign with major record labels. That gave punk the raw sound that we have all come to know and love.
3- Alot of early punk was influenced by 60's garage bands. Also alot of punk bands grew up listening to bands like the stooges and the mc5 who were early forms of punk rock.
4- When the Ramones released their first album they influenced alot of punk bands. Many punk musicians taught themselves to play by listening to the Ramones, and that gave alot of punk bands their fast paced loud sound.

How do you write a pop punk song?
You basically just need to think about the society, the things around you, like people, politics, the things that are happening in your country, etc. It shouldn't take you that long to write a punk rock song. All you need, is to write something from your own experiences, for example, whether you are angry at the society, if something is annoying you, if you want to change something, make anarchy, etc. A punk rock song can be about anything, basically. If you listen to some punk rock songs, you will see that the lyrics speak about freedom, anarchy, society, politics, love, doing what you want, etc.
Are goth and emo people the same?
No. The punk movement began in the 70's and 80's, with music with a political anarchist feel.
While Emo's look similar, Emo culture emerged in the 21st century, and is darker and more depressive, death obsessed feel.
How does one use his or her false vocal cords for screaming?
First you need to know if your cut out for screaming. If you smoke, stop otherwise screaming will never be easy and can be quite painful. Next, do you sing? Sometimes screaming can take away from you singing abilities, although that has never been proved. Last, do you have breathing or respiratory problems like asthma? Screaming takes a lot of air when your in your first year or so of practice, meaning your breathing heavy after songs.
If your okay to be screaming, heres how you do it.
You start, every single time when your learning, by warming up. Anything will do, just get your throat ready. Find the warmup that suits you, I would recommend pressing the keys of a piano in one octave, c to b flat, and go up and down twice without going into falsetto (the voice you would use to do a mario impression).
Then you need water, which can be any temperture but preferably lukewarm just because cold or chilled water can constrict your vocal chords which is okay when your good at screaming but can be painful when your learning.
Then, and you have probably heard this millions of times if you looked at youtube tutorials, you breathe in through, not into your diaghragm. Ait goes to your lungs. Always has, always will. By diaghragmatic breathing I mean breathing in so that your stomach pushes out. A lot of people say that when they do that their stomach goes inwards. If that happens then either your doing it wrong or something is medically out of place. Figure out which.
Once you've done that, learn how to push the air out using your diaghragm. I cant help you with this, its something you have to just work out for yourself.
Then once your doind that, go for it. Try to achieve a rough sound. Note, if its painful your doing it wrong, although sometimes pain can just be because your learning. If after a week of practice pain is still there, try experiminting with your method a bit and find a way of making it painless. And really thats it. Dont expect to get it immediately, like I can do stuff like this naturally, yet some people cant do it at all however long they practice. Just dont force yourself.

What should you dress in to be a punk rocker?
You need to wear tight leather pants and have really big hair!
Spandex, leather and studs, chains, big hair (Aquanet's the real 80s hairspray)... watch some videos by 80s bands - Guns n Roses, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi are always good places to start. Go for it, and never let anyone stop you! Nobody's gonna change me, cos that's who I am!
Why some people making fun of emo or goth?
Emo is not a disease it's a lifestyle. You feel it inside you. People go emo for a lot of different reasons.
- I went Emo because It's the way I am
- Some people want to be a cool they're just posers
- Some think it's and answer to all their problems
- Some think its cool like the music style and fashion and think it suits them and accurately describes the way they are.....like me
btw we are allowed to smile were not mentally challenged and were not entirely anti-social i don't just hang out with other emos..... Call me a poser and watch me do nothing. If your really emo you know it
Why was the majority of teenagers not punk?
Punk rock is rebellion music, and teenagers love to rebel. It's part of growing up.
its also an escape from reality and parts of punk are individual and everyone wants to be individual.
Also most of the time in punk music, there are true forms then theres stuff that u can relate like not being able to drink and stuff haha it just sounds kick ass!!
Also, I believe that the naming of music has simply been altered to cater to less-talented musicians.
In today's society, there are rarely any "punk" bands that are actually punk. They may have a 10% punk influence, but it certainly never means they're punk.
I think that most of the time it isn't that teenagers love punk-rock music, it's that they can't differentiate talented & original from uncreative copycat music; & latch onto a band before they've realized what a joke the band actually is.
Therefore when a band pops up in their circle of friends or on a label that they enjoy, they treat that band as if it's unique & creative when in reality they're merely a group of 25 year old men making music that the average middle-schooler could make, taking bits & pieces & playing the simplest form of a genre while promoting it for a young demographic of fans.
Nowadays, any band that dresses/sounds like Green Day is considered a form of "punk rock".
Just like Punk has "pop-punk" or metal has "hardcore", they're just dull emulations of dying genres. Hardcore bands only exist because ithey couldn't compete with metal. They could've either been a crappy metal band, or one of the best hardcore bands. It's the same with pop-punk or any other ridiculous variation of what was once a real form of personal representation.
This was typed in a hurry, anyone that feels the need to add or change this to make my explanation more direct, feel free! Thank you!
Example: "Let's go listen to A Day to Remember with all our friends & act like it's good music because we don't know there have been several past bands that played better, original versions of this music that we don't know about."
How do you get the punk look but not look emo?
You can get the punk look but not look emo by not just wearing the black or red but adding some other colors like pink into the outfit. Then you don't get the full effect of being emo, but punk. You can also achieve this look by wearing anything that's not black but stuff that is black. I hope my answer helped but if you need more i will check on the question again.
There is not such thing as a punk look. It is a state of mind and your clothing choices should only be limited by your immagination, not fear of being labeled emo, or something like that. Plus, emo and punk really have nothing to do with each other.
Another answer: Since emo has nothing to do with punk, its not exactly difficult, unless youre an emo, in which case stop trying to be punk
i wouldn't even try emos are rediculous. And think they can take us over. so don''t. Punk is not a freakin fashion statement.
==
It's not hard to look punk unless your trying too hard. If you have money to throw around look in Hot Topic. If not, you could always look in thrift stores. That's what punk is being about. Not worrying about labels like it said earlier, and being creative with your style. Because you wear black doesnt make you punk or emo, its black. The best way I can put this, is to try to find your own style and not worry whats in style.
emo came from punk, just dress who you are dressed but just don't have all the emo music rubbish on them, n D.I.Y clothes, just search punk fashion on Google, they should have loads of things
Did the Beatles help start Punk Rock?
No, is the short answer. However, It is fair to to say that they were the most influential recording band of their generation and an inspiration to countless bands and solo artists since.
